Weekend Recount.

This weekend was a very important and exciting weekend. As school finished on Friday, very happy to go over to my aunt's house for a special event that happened on Sunday. Practicing very hard getting all our dance move right and same timing, while we try our uniform on one by one. The event was International Day.

When we finished our we were talking about trying our best in every move we do because every can see every move of the dance. Having dinner late at night was a very nice thing to do with all my family together having fun and laughing, that hasn’t happened in a while.

Woke up the next morning raining hard as it was the night before. Went to check my aunt's room to see if she was there but she lefted saying she would be back in the evening and wait for everyone to come so yous can practice without me. Also I had to babysit my little cousins because their older brother went out fishing with his dad around 9:30.

Another day of hard working and having fun together. It was finally Sunday and everyone gathering together doing a prayer before we leave to go out Henderson.

Cross Country .

Cross Country. 11/09/2014

I had butterflies and was very nervous because we had cross country.

Thursday 11th September was the date that we had our school cross country. At 12:00pm we had our lunch time because our cross country started at 1:00pm. As soon as we all got the courts, we got ready for the first race to start. The year 1 boys starting first. Before they lined up to race, we had our house captains do their team chants, and Mr Burt did a prayer. Mr Burt prayed to bless and protect us as we’re running, and prayed that we have no accidents while our event is happening.

“BANG!” Mr Burt started the first year 1 boys race. All the little boys started running, while everyone else was cheering and screaming. When the year 1 boys nearly finished their race the year 1 girls started. Lining up to start their race all the year 7 and 8 girls and boys got up to move to a place where we could see. This is because all the supporters and parents were standing in our way. When we got to the bottom field, we saw all the little kids running past with a big smile on their faces.

As we were sitting we were all making noise and cheering for our house colours as they ran past us. It was finally the year 7 boys turn to get started with their race. When they were going to the starting line we all had butterflies and were getting nervous because we knew it was nearly our turn. When the year 7 boys finished their first lap it was the year 5 girls turn to race, while the year 7 girls lined up all the year 8 boys were nervous.

“Year 8 girls please line up in one line, quickly. HURRY UP!” Mrs Nua said with a grumpy voice, while everyone was looking for their running partner. Standing at the starting line, watching some of the senior boys running past us, waiting for our time to run.  It was finally the year 8 girls time to run and it was also the last race of the day.

When our race started most of the girls were screaming and trying their best but when we got out of the gate most of them started walking. Running with my close friend Asena V then we stopped by Mele because she felt very sick. When we stopped and asked for help, Mele told us to run so I did but Asena decided to stay with her until she had one of our teachers come get her. Huffing and puffing while I was running nearly on my second lap I could see Asena on the other side of the field. I was thinking of going back to run with her but it was too far away so I kept running until I saw Mr Barks, Mr Somerville and Mrs Va’afusuaga.

On my second lap it was a really good lap because it felt short and I had some laughters while running. It felt weird because when I was laughing no one was there but myself.

That was how our school cross country day went. I really enjoyed running and having to try my best at all time when fitness. After our run I felt tired and exhausted but we were just glad it was over because we run everyday for training.

Should We Ban Plastic Bags ?

To: Prime Minister John Key

I am writing this letter because plastic bags should be banned in New Zealand. The reason why we want to ban it from our country is because it’s killing our sea lives and killing our birds. Also some people from other countries think our country is messy because when they drive around New Zealand, it has plastic bags on the side of the road.

Banning plastic bags is probably a good thing to do. Also we can have more sea animals and birds in our beautiful country. People always throw their plastic bags away after their shopping and it flies away to our ocean. That’s how other fishes die because they think that plastic bags is food and they eat it then they die. So please this might be a good thing to do.

IF we ban plastic bags from New Zealand our environment would be more cleaner and tidier. It will also make our sea lives and birds more healthier. We can bring our own paper bags to put our shopping in or load it in the car yourself. When our country is tidy more people from overseas would love to come and visit New Zealand. We are killing our mother nature, please stop the nonsense and use recycle paper bags instead of plastic bags.

That is why I think we should ban plastic bags in New Zealand. If you agree with this situation it would be good, because we can keep our environment a green tidy place people always think of when they come to Aotearoa.   

Why Kids Should Exercise ?

This writing is base on why kids should exercise everyday. I believe kids should exercise everyday. It can also help kids to achieve their fitness goals. Well you’ll going to find out and see what you think about this. The question is Why should kids exercise everyday ??

I reckon making kids exercise everyday is good because it’s like pushing them to reach their goal for their future. Exercise is good for your body but you don’t have to do it everyday. There are unfit and fit people that runs but most importantly for those overweight people it is good for them because it can make them slimmer and get them to the size they really want to be. Everyones not perfect but I mostly know heaps of people that are big, their dream is to be skinny.

Exercising is one of the main thing that kids love to do. So maybe thats why kids like to exercise daily. When kids get forced to exercise it not a good thing teachers / parents should do because kids can do what they want or their not really into running or something cause it’s not their thing. But exercise is good because it helps you to be fitter, you don’t have to do exercise everyday at school. If we don’t exercise at school we can do it at home after school but use our school hours to learn something new.

Mostly overweight people doesn’t like doing exercise because they think it’s embarrassing running and coming last or something. They can also worry about other people mocking them and make them feel bad about themselves.
